Download Broker, Trader, Lawyer, Spy: The Secret World of Corporate Espionage AudioBook Free
Today's global economy has a dark underbelly. Using cutting-edge technology and age-old techniques of deceit and manipulation, corporate and business spies are the hidden puppeteers of globalized business. They control market segments, determine prices, effect corporate and business decisions, and manage the circulation of data and information of some of the world's biggest conglomerates. In an age when international conflicts are as likely to be corporation versus firm because they are to be nation versus region, the actions of these remarkably efficient covert operatives raise a host of important - and frightening - moral and legal questions. In his gripping, alarming exposé, Eamon Javers recounts the sordid background of this hidden world - from Allan Pinkerton, the country's first "private eyes" through Howard Hughes's private CIA, to the surprising realities of an vast modern-day spying network with tentacles reaching into nearly every corner of the world.
